Noticed that Bob is planning a movie outing and I have a suggestion to make
about a comedy called Borat I enjoyed recently. It's certainly the kind of film
that will encourage discussion afterwards.

Here is a review of the movie and a website that you can pick the theatre
times and addresses.

Movie Review for Borat

Sacha Baron Cohen is a comic genius. As Borat Sagdiyev, a TV journalist from
Kazakhstan who is the least politically correct character imaginable, Baron
Cohen spits out the most outrageous racist and sexist statements he can think
of. Yet it’s the reaction of most of his unknowing victims that proves to be the
most interesting aspect of Borat.

The defiantly unapologetic and laugh out loud funny Borat: Cultural Learnings
of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is not for the easily
offended or for those who don’t get Sacha Baron Cohen’s satirical humor. If even
one scene from the trailer or TV commercials has upset you, do not go see Borat.
Nothing is off-limits – not feminists, Jewish people, Pentecostals, homosexuals,
or politicians. If there’s a way to stir the pot and use this shocking
mockumentary to make us examine our values, Borat goes for it. Speaking in his
own particularly bizarre mangled version of English, Borat begins his film by
showing the audience around his glorious Kazakhstan, a country with many
problems including “economic, social and Jew.” After introducing us to his wife,
hated neighbor, and award-winning prostitute sister, Borat explains a little
about his family history (his father was Boltolk the rapist) before he and his
producer, Azamat (Ken Davitian), take off for
America. Once in America, Borat proceeds to skewer Western values at every
turn. From inquiring of a gun store owner which gun to buy to kill Jews, to
carrying on a conversation with the head of a rodeo about killing all
homosexuals and then whipping up that rodeo crowd by praising America’s “war of
terror,” Borat’s just as offensive as the genuinely shocking responses he
elicits.
